Definitions
- the invention relates to a machine carrier of a wind turbine with wiring, a corresponding wind turbine and a method for laying a wire harness to a machine support of a wind turbine
- Wind turbines usually have a tower, at the top of which a nacelle with a rotor with a rotor hub with rotor blades is arranged, which drives a generator during operation.
- the gondola houses machine parts such as bearings, shafts and the generator, electronics and control boxes and possibly a transmission.
- the machine parts are carried by a floor platform or a machine carrier, which is rotatably mounted on the tower.
- the machine carrier transmits the entire rotor forces in the front part
- the azimuth bearing on the tower takes up the heavy loads of the machine parts and is correspondingly stiff and solid.
- modern machine carriers consist of a main carrier and a rear carrier, which may be welded or cast.
- the main carrier is strongly dynamically loaded, while the main task of the rear carrier, which is connected to the main carrier at the rear side, is to carry the weight of the generator and, where appropriate, a transformer, an inverter and control cabinets.
- the load level is therefore lower for the rear carrier than for the heavily loaded main carrier. More important here is the stiffness design, as the generator must be exactly aligned with the gearbox. Dynamic loads of the rear carrier result mainly from vibrations and inertial forces.
- Main carriers are currently manufactured in many wind turbines as castings made of cast iron, so produced as a casting in a casting process. This has the advantage that even complicated shapes are easy to produce.
- the casting material has vibration-damping properties that a welded part made of steel does not have. This is advantageous in a nacelle of a wind turbine in which strong vibrations and thus also strong sound emissions can occur.
- cast iron with a lower density than steel, has good compressive strength and, due to its embrittlement, good dimensional stability, which makes it particularly suitable for use as a machine carrier.
- An example of a suitable cast iron is spheroidal graphite cast iron, d. H. spherical graphite deposits, which additionally has a comparatively high tensile strength.
- the rear carrier can, as in some cases, the main carrier, for cost reasons, be a welded part, that is, of several Steel parts, ie steel beams, steel pipes and steel sheets, in particular made of rolled steel, welded together. Because of the higher tensile and breaking strength of the steel compared to cast iron, the rear carrier with the same load capacity has a lower weight.
- connection between the main carrier and the rear carrier is usually designed as a flange connection.
- the rear carrier is flanged to the machine frame by means of suitable screw.
- Flange connections require a relatively large amount of space and can be difficult to access due to the tight space conditions in a gondola.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Maschinentrรคger einer Windenergieanlage mit Verkabelung, eine entsprechende Windenergieanlage sowie ein Verfahren zum Verlegen eines Kabelstrangs an einem Maschinentrรคger einer WindenergieanlageThe invention relates to a machine carrier of a wind turbine with wiring, a corresponding wind turbine and a method for laying a wire harness to a machine support of a wind turbine
Windenergieanlagen weisen รผblicherweise einen Turm auf, an dessen Spitze eine Gondel mit einem Rotor mit einer Rotornabe mit Rotorblรคttern angeordnet ist, der im Betrieb einen Generator antreibt. Die Gondel beherbergt Maschinenteile wie Lager, Wellen und den Generator, Elektronik- und Schaltkรคsten sowie gegebenenfalls ein Getriebe. Die Maschinenteile werden von einer Bodenplattform bzw. einem Maschinentrรคger getragen, der auf dem Turm drehbar gelagert ist.Wind turbines usually have a tower, at the top of which a nacelle with a rotor with a rotor hub with rotor blades is arranged, which drives a generator during operation. The gondola houses machine parts such as bearings, shafts and the generator, electronics and control boxes and possibly a transmission. The machine parts are carried by a floor platform or a machine carrier, which is rotatably mounted on the tower.
Der Maschinentrรคger รผbertrรคgt im vorderen Teil die gesamten Rotorkrรคfte รผber die Azimutlagerung auf den Turm, nimmt die schweren Lasten der Maschinenteile auf und ist entsprechend steif und massiv gebaut. In vielen Fรคllen bestehen moderne Maschinentrรคger aus einem Haupttrรคger und einem Hecktrรคger, die geschweiรt oder gegossen sein kรถnnen. Der Haupttrรคger ist stark dynamisch belastet, wรคhrend die Hauptaufgabe des Hecktrรคgers, der mit dem Haupttrรคger an dessen Heckseite verbunden ist, darin liegt, das Gewicht des Generators und gegebenenfalls eines Transformators, eines Umrichters und von Schaltschrรคnken zu tragen. Beim Hecktrรคger ist das Belastungsniveau daher weniger hoch als bei dem hochbeanspruchten Haupttrรคger. Wichtiger ist hier die Steifigkeitsauslegung, da der Generator genau mit dem Getriebe fluchten muss. Dynamische Belastungen des Hecktrรคgers resultieren vor allem aus Schwingungen und Trรคgheitskrรคften.The machine carrier transmits the entire rotor forces in the front part The azimuth bearing on the tower takes up the heavy loads of the machine parts and is correspondingly stiff and solid. In many cases, modern machine carriers consist of a main carrier and a rear carrier, which may be welded or cast. The main carrier is strongly dynamically loaded, while the main task of the rear carrier, which is connected to the main carrier at the rear side, is to carry the weight of the generator and, where appropriate, a transformer, an inverter and control cabinets. The load level is therefore lower for the rear carrier than for the heavily loaded main carrier. More important here is the stiffness design, as the generator must be exactly aligned with the gearbox. Dynamic loads of the rear carrier result mainly from vibrations and inertial forces.
Haupttrรคger werden derzeit bei vielen Windenergieanlagen als Gussteile aus Gusseisen gefertigt, also als Abguss in einem Gussverfahren hergestellt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass auch komplizierte Formen leicht herstellbar sind. Auรerdem hat das Gussmaterial schwingungsdรคmpfende Eigenschaften, die ein Schweiรteil aus Stahl nicht hat. Dies ist in einer Gondel einer Windenergieanlage, in der starke Schwingungen und somit auch starke Schallabstrahlungen entstehen kรถnnen, vorteilhaft. Gusseisen hat bei geringerer Dichte als Stahl auรerdem eine gute Druckfestigkeit und aufgrund seiner Versprรถdung eine gute Formsteifigkeit, was es fรผr die Anwendung als Maschinentrรคger besonders geeignet macht. Ein Beispiel eines geeigneten Gusseisens ist Gusseisen mit Kugelgraphit, d. h. sphรคrischen Graphiteinlagerungen, welches zusรคtzlich eine vergleichsweise hohe Zugfestigkeit aufweist.Main carriers are currently manufactured in many wind turbines as castings made of cast iron, so produced as a casting in a casting process. This has the advantage that even complicated shapes are easy to produce. In addition, the casting material has vibration-damping properties that a welded part made of steel does not have. This is advantageous in a nacelle of a wind turbine in which strong vibrations and thus also strong sound emissions can occur. In addition, cast iron, with a lower density than steel, has good compressive strength and, due to its embrittlement, good dimensional stability, which makes it particularly suitable for use as a machine carrier. An example of a suitable cast iron is spheroidal graphite cast iron, d. H. spherical graphite deposits, which additionally has a comparatively high tensile strength.
Der Hecktrรคger kann, wie in einigen Fรคllen auch der Haupttrรคger, aus Kostengrรผnden ein Schweiรteil sein, das heiรt aus mehreren Stahlteilen, also Stahltrรคgern, Stahlrohren und Stahlblechen, insbesondere aus Walzstahl, zusammengeschweiรt sein. Wegen der hรถheren Zug- und Bruchfestigkeit des Stahls gegenรผber Gusseisen weist der Hecktrรคger bei gleicher Belastbarkeit ein geringeres Gewicht auf.The rear carrier can, as in some cases, the main carrier, for cost reasons, be a welded part, that is, of several Steel parts, ie steel beams, steel pipes and steel sheets, in particular made of rolled steel, welded together. Because of the higher tensile and breaking strength of the steel compared to cast iron, the rear carrier with the same load capacity has a lower weight.
Da Gusseisen nicht schweiรbar ist, ist die Verbindung zwischen dem Haupttrรคger und dem Hecktrรคger รผblicherweise als Flanschverbindung ausgebildet. Hierzu ist der Hecktrรคger an den Maschinentrรคger mittels geeigneter Schraubverbindungen angeflanscht. Flanschverbindungen benรถtigen relativ viel Platz und kรถnnen aufgrund der engen Platzverhรคltnisse in einer Gondel schwer zugรคnglich sein.Since cast iron is not weldable, the connection between the main carrier and the rear carrier is usually designed as a flange connection. For this purpose, the rear carrier is flanged to the machine frame by means of suitable screw. Flange connections require a relatively large amount of space and can be difficult to access due to the tight space conditions in a gondola.

Ein alternatives Verbindungsverfahren ist in der Patentanmeldung
Bei modernen Windenergieanlagen, die Nennleistungen von mehreren Megawatt (MW) haben, wird eine Verkabelung des Generators und der weiteren elektrischen Komponenten zwischen dem Turm und den insbesondere auf dem Hecktrรคger gelagerten elektrischen Komponenten รผber den Haupttrรคger gefรผhrt. Beispielsweise bei der Verwendung von doppelt gespeisten Asynchrongeneratoren, bei denen ein Teil der Leistung vom Stator des Generators und ein anderer Teil der Leistung vom Rotor abgenommen wird, und zu jeder der drei Phasen des Stroms jeweils drei Leistungskabel verwendet werden, ergibt sich eine Gesamtdicke eines entsprechenden Leistungskabelstranges von bis zu einigen Dutzend Zentimetern. Diese Kabel werden auf dem Maschinentrรคger zwischen den auf dem Maschinentrรคger gelagerten Komponenten hindurch verlegt. Neben den Leistungskabeln werden auch Steuerkabel verlegt, mit denen Steuer- und Messsignale รผbertragen werden. Zu diesen Kabeln gehรถren auch die Stromversorgungskabel fรผr die elektrischen Komponenten, Computer usw. Die Vielzahl der zu verlegenden Kabel sowie die beengten Platzverhรคltnisse in der Gondel der Windenergieanlage fรผhren dazu, dass Wartungsarbeiten in der Gondel aufgrund von Stolpergefahr erschwert werden. Auรerdem mรผssen Kabel aufwรคndig verkleidet bzw. durch Bereiche der Gondel, z.B. unter dem Getriebe gefรผhrt werden, die ohnehin schon Engstellen darstellen.In modern wind turbines, which have rated outputs of several megawatts (MW), a wiring of the generator and the other electrical components between the tower and the particular mounted on the rear carrier electrical components is passed over the main carrier. For example, in the case of using doubly fed asynchronous generators, where part of the power is taken from the stator of the generator and another part of the power is taken from the rotor, and three power cables are used for each of the three phases of the current, a total thickness of a corresponding one results Power cable harness of up to a few tens of centimeters. These cables are laid on the machine carrier between the components stored on the machine carrier. In addition to the power cables, control cables are laid with which control and measuring signals are transmitted. These cables also include the power supply cables for the electrical components, computers, etc. The large number of cables to be laid and the limited space in the nacelle of the wind turbine make maintenance in the nacelle difficult due to tripping hazards. In addition, cables must be costly clad or through areas of the nacelle, e.g. be guided under the transmission, which are already bottlenecks anyway.
Demgegenรผber liegt die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine Verkabelung der elektrischen Komponenten einer Windenergieanlage zu schaffen, die sowohl eine sichere und bequeme Wartung sowohl der Verkabelung als auch der elektrischen Komponenten in der Gondel der Windenergieanlage als auch eine sichere elektrische Verbindung sowohl von Leistungskabeln als auch von Steuerkabeln unter Vermeidung von Engstellen ermรถglicht.In contrast, the object of the present invention is To provide a wiring of the electrical components of a wind turbine, which allows both a safe and convenient maintenance of both the wiring and the electrical components in the nacelle of the wind turbine as well as a secure electrical connection of both power cables and control cables while avoiding bottlenecks.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Maschinentrรคger einer Windenergieanlage mit Verkabelung gelรถst, wobei der Maschinentrรคger einen Haupttrรคger und einen Hecktrรคger aufweist, der an wenigstens einer Verbindungstelle mit dem Haupttrรคger an dessen Heckseite verbunden ist, wobei die Verkabelung wenigstens ein Kabel und/oder wenigstens einen Kabelstrang mit Leistungskabeln und/oder mit Steuerkabeln aufweist, das und/oder der zwischen dem Haupttrรคger und dem Hecktrรคger verlegt ist, wobei der Maschinentrรคger dadurch weitergebildet ist, dass in der Verbindungsstelle eine Aussparung angeordnet ist, durch die das wenigstens eine Kabel und/oder der wenigstens eine Kabelstrang verlegt ist.This object is achieved by a machine carrier of a wind turbine with wiring, wherein the machine carrier has a main carrier and a rear carrier, which is connected at least one connection point with the main carrier at the rear side, wherein the wiring at least one cable and / or at least one cable harness with power cables and / or with control cables, which and / or is laid between the main carrier and the rear carrier, wherein the machine carrier is further developed in that in the connection point a recess is arranged, through which the at least one cable and / or the at least one cable harness is relocated.
Unter einer Aussparung in der Verbindungsstelle wird insbesondere eine รffnung, die teilweise oder vollstรคndig umschlossen ist, in der Verbindungsstelle verstanden. Sie liegt damit unterhalb der Oberseite des Maschinentrรคgers. Die erfindungsgemรครe Maรnahme bedeutet somit, dass die Kabel bzw. die Kabelstrรคnge im Inneren des Maschinentrรคgers, d.h. des Hecktrรคgers und des Haupttrรคgers, verlegt werden anstatt, wie bisher, oberhalb bzw. auf der Oberseite des Maschinentrรคgers oder mittig zwischen den Tragarmen des Hecktrรคgers. Bis auf die Stellen, an denen die Kabel bzw. Kabelstrรคnge aus dem Hecktrรคger herausgefรผhrt werden, um mit dem Generator bzw. den anderen elektrischen Komponenten auf dem Hecktrรคger verbunden zu werden, verlaufen die Kabel bzw. Kabelstrรคnge somit vollstรคndig unterhalb der Ebene, auf der sรคmtliche Maschinenteile, insbesondere Triebstrang, Getriebe und elektrische Komponenten, angeordnet sind und somit unterhalb des Bereiches, in dem Wartungsarbeiten und Reparaturarbeiten ausgefรผhrt werden. Sรคmtliche mechanischen und elektrischen Komponenten, die auf dem Maschinentrรคger angeordnet sind, sind somit stรถrungsfrei durch Wartungspersonal erreichbar und einsehbar. Die besondere Erkenntnis der Erfindung liegt darin, eine entscheidende Verbesserung der rรคumlichen Verhรคltnisse zu erreichen, indem die Kabelstrรคnge durch die hochbelasteten Verbindungsstellen gefรผhrt werden.Under a recess in the connection point in particular an opening which is partially or completely enclosed, understood in the connection point. It is thus below the top of the machine carrier. The measure according to the invention thus means that the cables or cable strands inside the machine carrier, ie the rear carrier and the main carrier, are laid instead, as before, above or on the top of the machine carrier or centrally between the support arms of the rear carrier. Except for the points where the cables or harnesses are led out of the rear carrier to be connected to the generator or the other electrical components on the rear carrier, the cables or cable strands thus extend completely below the plane on which all Machine parts, In particular, the drive train, gearbox and electrical components are arranged and thus below the area in which maintenance and repair work is carried out. All mechanical and electrical components that are arranged on the machine carrier, thus trouble-free by maintenance personnel accessible and visible. The particular finding of the invention is to achieve a significant improvement of the spatial conditions by the cable strands are guided by the highly loaded joints.
Die Nutzung von Aussparungen an den Verbindungsstellen, die von Aussparungen in den Strukturen des Hecktrรคgers und des Haupttrรคgers an den Verbindungsstellen gebildet werden, hat den Vorteil, dass die Kabel und Kabelstrรคnge dicht an den mechanischen Strukturen von Hecktrรคger und Haupttrรคger entlang gefรผhrt werden und somit auch innerhalb der Maschinentrรคgerkonstruktion gut befestigbar sind und nicht oder kaum frei gefรผhrt werden, wodurch Beschรคdigungen der Kabel oder Kontaktverluste verhindert werden kรถnnen. Auรerdem dienen die Aussparungen als natรผrliche Engstellen, die eine besonders geeignete Bรผndelung und Befestigung von Kabeln bzw. Kabelstrรคngen erlauben. Unter einem Kabelstrang wird im Rahmen der Erfindung auch ein Kabelbaum verstanden.The use of recesses at the joints, which are formed by recesses in the structures of the rear carrier and the main carrier at the joints, has the advantage that the cables and cable strands are guided close to the mechanical structures of the rear carrier and main carrier and thus also within the machine carrier structure are well fastened and are not or hardly freely guided, whereby damage to the cable or loss of contact can be prevented. In addition, the recesses serve as natural bottlenecks, which allow a particularly suitable bundling and attachment of cables or cable strands. Under a cable harness is understood in the context of the invention, a wiring harness.
Unter Leistungskabeln und Steuerkabeln werden sowohl Starkstrom fรผhrende Kabel als auch Steuerkabel, Stromversorgungskabel und sรคmtliche weiteren Kabel, die in einer Gondel einer Windenergieanlage verwendet werden, im Rahmen der Erfindung verstanden.Power cables and control cables are understood as meaning both high-current cables and control cables, power supply cables and all other cables which are used in a nacelle of a wind turbine.
Vorteilhafterweise ist der Hecktrรคger mittels eines Schraubenflansches mit dem Haupttrรคger verbunden oder an den Haupttrรคger angeschweiรt. In beiden Fรคllen ist es mรถglich, vorhandene Aussparungen an den entsprechenden Verbindungsstellen erfindungsgemรคร zum Durchfรผhren von Kabeln und/oder Kabelstrรคngen zu verwenden.Advantageously, the rear carrier is connected by means of a screw flange with the main carrier or welded to the main carrier. In both cases, it is possible to use existing recesses at the corresponding connection points according to the invention for the passage of cables and / or cable strands.
Ein Schraubenflansch oder eine Schweiรverbindungsstelle eines Haupttrรคgers oder eines Hecktrรคgers ist vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen C-fรถrmig, U-fรถrmig oder als geschlossener Querschnitt mit allseits umschlossener Aussparung ausgefรผhrt. Diese Formen ermรถglichen sowohl eine dauerhafte und stabile Verbindung als auch die Ausbildung einer Aussparung, die an zwei, drei oder mehr Seiten umschlossen ist. Dafรผr sind auch Verbindungen geeignet, die an zwei Seiten, beispielsweise oberhalb und unterhalb der Aussparung oder oberhalb und einseitig neben der Aussparung, also winkelfรถrmig, angeordnet sind.A screw flange or a weld joint of a main carrier or a rear carrier is preferably designed substantially C-shaped, U-shaped or as a closed cross-section with a recess enclosed on all sides. These forms allow both a permanent and stable connection as well as the formation of a recess which is enclosed on two, three or more sides. For connections are also suitable, which are arranged on two sides, for example above and below the recess or above and on one side next to the recess, ie angularly.
Eine stabile und vorteilhafte Ausbildung besteht darin, dass an zwei gegenรผberliegenden Seiten Verbindungsstellen zwischen Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger angeordnet sind. Es kรถnnen auch drei oder mehr Verbindungsstellen vorgesehen sein, die entweder in einer Ebene nebeneinander oder in mehreren Ebenen verteilt liegen. Hierzu ist vorzugsweise in einer Weiterbildung vorgesehen, dass beide oder mehrere Verbindungsstellen Aussparungen mit hindurch verlegten Kabeln oder Kabelstrรคngen aufweisen, wobei insbesondere Leistungskabel und Steuerkabel getrennt voneinander durch verschiedene Verbindungsstellen verlegt sind. Die Trennung von Leistungskabeln und Steuerkabeln verhindert zuverlรคssig das Einstreuen von Stรถrungen aus den Leistungskabeln in die Steuerkabel, die die Steuerung der Windenergieanlage stรถren kรถnnten.A stable and advantageous embodiment is that on two opposite sides connecting points between the main carrier and rear carrier are arranged. There may also be provided three or more connection points, which are distributed either in a plane next to each other or in several levels. For this purpose, it is preferably provided in a development that both or more connection points have recesses with cables or cable strands laid therethrough, wherein in particular power cables and control cables are laid separately from one another by different connection points. The separation of power cables and control cables reliably prevents the spread of interference from the power cables into the control cables, which could disturb the control of the wind turbine.
Vorzugsweise durchlรคuft wenigstens ein Kabel eine Verbindungsstelle bruchlos und/oder ist wenigstens ein Kabel im Hecktrรคger an oder im Bereich einer Verbindungsstelle mit einem Kabel im Haupttrรคger mittels eines Steckkontakts verbunden. Ein solches Kabel kann auch Teil eines Kabelstrangs sein. In einem solchen Fall sind insbesondere vorzugsweise sรคmtliche Kabel eines Kabelstrangs im Hecktrรคger mit den entsprechenden Kabeln eines Kabelstrangs im Haupttrรคger mittels Steckkontakten oder eines gemeinsamen Steckkontaktes an oder im Bereich einer Verbindungsstelle verbunden. Hierzu kann am Hecktrรคger oder am Haupttrรคger auch ein Steckverbindungspaneel fรผr eine Vielzahl von Steckverbindungen vorgesehen sein, das eine geordnete Verbindung der Kabel im Hecktrรคger und der Kabel im Haupttrรคger miteinander vereinfacht.Preferably, at least one cable runs through a junction without breakage and / or at least one cable in the rear carrier is connected to or in the region of a connection point with a cable in the main carrier by means of a plug contact. Such a cable may also be part of a cable harness. In such a case, in particular all cables of a cable harness in the rear carrier are preferably connected to the corresponding cables of a cable harness in the main carrier by means of plug contacts or a common plug contact at or in the region of a connection point. For this purpose, a Steckverbindungspaneel for a variety of connectors can be provided on the rear carrier or the main carrier, which simplifies an orderly connection of the cable in the rear carrier and the cable in the main carrier each other.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildung des Maschinentrรคgers sieht vor, dass wenigstens eine Kabelschiene fรผr den oder die Kabelstrรคnge im Haupttrรคger und/oder im Hecktrรคger angeordnet ist, wobei insbesondere die wenigstens eine Kabelschiene eine Verbindungstelle zwischen Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger durchlรคuft oder eine Kabelschiene im Haupttrรคger und eine Kabelschiene im Hecktrรคger an oder im Bereich einer Verbindungsstelle aufeinander stoรen. Unter einer Kabelschiene wird im Rahmen der Erfindung eine offene oder eine geschlossene Kabelschiene, insbesondere ein Kabelkanal, verstanden. Eine geschlossene Kabelschiene kann auch eine Kabelschiene mit Seitenwรคnden und Deckel, der abnehmbar sein kann, sein. Auch einfache Kabelschienen mit einer Leiterstruktur sind erfindungsgemรคร einsetzbar. Sie haben den Vorteil eines vergleichsweise geringen Gewichts und einer guten Zugรคnglichkeit der darauf gefรผhrten Kabel und Kabelstrรคnge. Bevorzugt sind Kabelschienen sowohl im Hecktrรคger als auch im Haupttrรคger vorhanden. Solche Kabelschienen kรถnnen entweder nach dem Zusammensetzen des Maschinentrรคgers aus Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger eingebaut werden und die Verbindungsstelle als Ganzes durchlaufen, oder die Kabelschienen werden zunรคchst separat im Haupttrรคger und im Hecktrรคger angebracht, so dass sie nach dem Zusammensetzen von Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger zum Maschinentrรคger an oder im Bereich der jeweiligen Verbindungsstelle aufeinander stoรen.A particularly advantageous development of the machine carrier provides that at least one cable rail for the cable harness or strands is arranged in the main carrier and / or in the rear carrier, wherein in particular the at least one cable rail passes through a connection point between the main carrier and the rear carrier or a cable rail in the main carrier and a cable rail in the rear carrier at or in the region of a joint abut each other. In the context of the invention, a cable rail is understood to mean an open or a closed cable rail, in particular a cable duct. A closed cable rail can also be a cable rail with side walls and cover which can be removable. Even simple cable rails with a conductor structure can be used according to the invention. They have the advantage of a comparatively low weight and good accessibility of the cables and cable runs carried thereon. Cable rails are preferably present both in the rear carrier and in the main carrier. Such cable rails can be installed either after assembly of the machine carrier of the main carrier and rear carrier and go through the joint as a whole, or the cable rails are initially separately mounted in the main carrier and the rear carrier so that they after assembly of the main carrier and rear carrier to the machine carrier on or Area of each junction encounter each other.
Im Hecktrรคger, der รผblicherweise aus Stahltrรคgern, Stahlrohren und รคhnlichem zusammengeschweiรt ist, kann eine Kabelschiene so befestigt werden, dass an den gewรผnschten Stellen beispielsweise Schraubรถsen fรผr die Kabelschiene an die entsprechenden Teile des Hecktrรคgers angeschweiรt werden. In dem Fall, dass bei einem Haupttrรคger geschweiรte Teile verwendet werden in Bereichen, in denen Kabelschienen verlegt werden sollen, ist die gleiche Vorgehensweise mรถglich. Falls der Haupttrรคger an diesen Stellen aus einem gegossenen Material besteht, kann in der Form eine glatte Wand vorgesehen sein, die nach dem Gieรen mit mit Gewindebohrungen versehenen Sacklรถchern versehen wird. In diese Sacklรถcher kรถnnen dann Schraubverbindungen fรผr die Kabelschienen eingefรผgt werden.In the rear carrier, which is usually welded together from steel beams, steel pipes and the like, a cable rail can be fixed so that at the desired locations, for example, eyelets for the cable rail are welded to the corresponding parts of the rear carrier. In the case that welded parts are used in a main carrier in areas where cable rails are to be laid, the same procedure is possible. If the main beam is made of a cast material at these locations, a smooth wall may be provided in the mold after tapping provided blind holes provided. Screw connections for the cable rails can then be inserted into these blind holes.
Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird auรerdem durch eine Windenergieanlage mit einem vorbeschriebenen erfindungsgemรครen Maschinentrรคger mit Verkabelung gelรถst.The object underlying the invention is also achieved by a wind turbine with a previously described machine support according to the invention with wiring.
Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird ferner durch ein Verfahren zum Verlegen eines Kabels und/oder eines Kabelstrangs an einem, insbesondere vorbeschriebenen erfindungsgemรครen, Maschinentrรคger einer Windenergieanlage gelรถst, wobei aus einem Haupttrรคger und einem Hecktrรคger durch Verbinden an wenigstens einer Verbindungsstelle an einer Heckseite des Haupttrรคgers ein Maschinentrรคger hergestellt wird, wobei das Verfahren dadurch weitergebildet ist, dass durch eine Aussparung in der Verbindungsstelle wenigstens ein Kabel und/oder wenigstens ein Kabelstrang mit Leistungskabeln und/oder mit Steuerkabeln verlegt wird. Dieses erfindungsgemรครe Verfahren fรผhrt zu dem erfindungsgemรครen vorstehend beschriebenen Maschinentrรคger mit erfindungsgemรครer Verkabelung und hat daher die gleichen Vorteile wie der erfindungsgemรครe Maschinentrรคger. In der Herstellung des Maschinentrรคgers bzw. dem Verlegen der Verkabelung hat diese Vorgehensweise den Vorteil, dass sie unabhรคngig von bereits installierten Maschinenkomponenten auf der Oberseite des Maschinentrรคgers bzw. von noch zu installierenden Maschinenkomponenten erfolgt und somit eine schnelle und unkomplizierte Verlegungsmethode darstellt.The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for laying a cable and / or a cable harness on a, in particular above-described invention, machine support a wind turbine, wherein a main carrier and a rear carrier by connecting to at least one connection point on a rear side of the main carrier a machine carrier is produced, wherein the method is further developed in that at least one cable and / or at least one cable harness with power cables and / or with control cables is laid through a recess in the connection point. This method according to the invention leads to the above-described machine carrier according to the invention with cabling according to the invention and therefore has the same advantages as the machine carrier according to the invention. In the production of the machine carrier or the laying of the wiring, this approach has the advantage that it is independent of already installed machine components on the top of the machine carrier or of machine components still to be installed and thus represents a fast and straightforward transfer method.
Das Verbinden von Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger erfolgt vorzugsweise durch Verschrauben von Schraubenflanschen oder durch Verschweiรen.The connection of main carrier and rear carrier is preferably carried out by screwing of screw flanges or by welding.
Vorteilhafterweise werden mehrere Kabel und/oder Kabelstrรคnge getrennt voneinander durch verschiedene Verbindungsstellen zwischen Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger verlegt, insbesondere Leistungskabel getrennt von Steuerkabeln. So werden Stรถrungen, die von Leistungsspitzen in den Leistungskabeln ausgehen und die auf die Steuerkabel wirken, minimiert.Advantageously, several cables and / or cable strands are laid separately from each other by different connection points between the main carrier and rear carrier, in particular power cable separated from control cables. This minimizes noise caused by power peaks in the power cables that affect the control cables.
In einer bevorzugten Ausbildung des Verfahrens wird wenigstens ein Kabel bruchlos durch eine Verbindungsstelle verlegt und/oder wird wenigstens ein Kabel im Haupttrรคger mittels eines Steckkontakts an oder im Bereich der Verbindungsstelle mit wenigstens einem Kabel im Hecktrรคger verbunden. Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist auch vorgesehen, dass einige Kabel bruchlos die Verbindungsstellen durchlaufen, wรคhrend andere Kabel eine Kontaktstelle zwischen Hecktrรคger und Haupttrรคger aufweisen. Dies kann nach den Gegebenheiten der elektrischen Komponenten und der Vorgehensweise beim Herstellen der Verkabelung frei gewรคhlt werden. Eine bruchlose Kabelfรผhrung hat den Vorteil einer stรถrungsfreien Kabelverlegung und einer Vermeidung von Kontaktstellen, die potenzielle Leitungsunterbrechungen bedeuten. Die Verwendung von Steckkontakten oder Paneelen mit Steckkontakten hat den Vorteil der Flexibilitรคt und der Mรถglichkeit, Kabel bereits am Hecktrรคger und am Haupttrรคger zu verlegen, bevor diese zu einem Maschinentrรคger zusammengefรผgt werden.In a preferred embodiment of the method, at least one cable is laid without breakage through a connection point and / or at least one cable in the main carrier is connected by means of a plug contact to or in the region of the connection point with at least one cable in the rear carrier. In the context of the invention, it is also provided that some cables pass through the junctions without break, while other cables have a contact point between the rear carrier and the main carrier. This can be freely selected according to the conditions of the electrical components and the procedure for establishing the wiring. Brushless cable management has the advantage of trouble-free cable routing and avoidance of contact points, which can cause potential line breaks. The use of plug contacts or panels with plug contacts has the advantage of flexibility and the ability to lay cables already on the rear carrier and on the main carrier before they are assembled into a machine carrier.
Vorzugsweise werden vor oder nach dem Verbinden von Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger Kabelschienen fรผr die Kabel und/oder Kabelstrรคnge am Haupttrรคger und/oder am Hecktrรคger befestigt, die Haupttrรคger und/oder Hecktrรคger durchlaufen oder an oder im Bereich einer Verbindungsstelle zwischen Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger aufeinander stoรen. Die Kabelschienen sind in diesem Fall so angeordnet, dass die Verlegung der Kabel bzw. Kabelstrรคnge jeweils durch die Aussparung an den Verbindungsstellen erfolgt.Preferably, before or after connecting the main carrier and rear carrier cable rails for the cables and / or cable strands attached to the main carrier and / or on the rear carrier, the main carrier and / or rear carrier go through or at or in the region of a junction between the main carrier and rear carrier abut each other. The cable rails are arranged in this case so that the laying of the cables or cable strands respectively through the recess at the connection points.
Vorteilhafterweise wird das wenigstens eine Kabel und/oder der wenigstens eine Kabelstrang vor oder nach dem Verbinden von Haupttrรคger und Hecktrรคger zum Maschinentrรคger durch die wenigstens eine Aussparung der wenigstens einen Verbindungsstelle verlegt.Advantageously, the at least one cable and / or the at least one cable harness is laid before or after the connection of main carrier and rear carrier to the machine carrier through the at least one recess of the at least one connection point.
Auรerdem ist vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen, dass das Verlegen des wenigstens einen Kabels und/oder des wenigstens einen Kabelstrangs am Boden, beispielsweise in einer Werkhalle, und/oder in einer Gondel einer Windenergieanlage erfolgt. Das Verlegen am Boden, insbesondere in einer Werkhalle, hat den Vorteil, dass genรผgend Platz und Bewegungsfreiheit zum Verlegen von Kabeln bzw. Kabelstrรคngen vorhanden ist. Das Verlegen von Kabeln oder Kabelstrรคngen in der an der Spitze eines Turms angeordneten Gondel hat den Vorteil, dass weniger Gewicht mittels eines Krans auf die Spitze einer Windenergieanlage gehievt werden muss. Es ist auch mรถglich, einen Teil oder einen Groรteil der Verkabelung ebenerdig zu verlegen und beispielsweise nachtrรคgliche Verkabelung auch noch in der Gondel zu verlegen.In addition, it is advantageously provided that the laying of the at least one cable and / or the at least one cable harness on the ground, for example in a workshop, and / or carried out in a nacelle of a wind turbine. The laying on the ground, especially in a workshop, has the advantage that there is enough space and freedom of movement for laying cables or cable strands. The laying of cables or cable strands in the nacelle arranged at the top of a tower has the advantage that less weight must be heaved by means of a crane to the top of a wind turbine. It is also possible to lay a part or a majority of the wiring at ground level and, for example, also to lay subsequent wiring in the nacelle.
Die zu den Erfindungsgegenstรคnden, d.h. dem Maschinentrรคger, der Windenergieanlage und dem Verfahren genannten Merkmale, Eigenschaften und Vorteile gelten uneingeschrรคnkt auch fรผr die jeweils anderen Erfindungsgegenstรคnde. Dies gilt auรerdem auch fรผr einen erfindungsgemรครen Haupttrรคger bzw. fรผr einen erfindungsgemรครen Hecktrรคger, die jeweils bereits vor dem Verbinden zu einem Maschinentrรคger ausgerรผstet sein kรถnnen, um Kabel oder Kabelstrรคnge aufzunehmen und zu Aussparungen in Verbindungsstellen zum jeweils anderen Trรคgerteil zu fรผhren, insbesondere mittels vorbereiteten Kabelschienen oder anderen Befestigungselementen fรผr Kabel oder Kabelstrรคnge.The features, properties and advantages mentioned with regard to the subject matter of the invention, ie the machine carrier, the wind energy installation and the method, also apply unrestrictedly to the respective other subjects of the invention. This also applies to a main carrier according to the invention or for a rear carrier according to the invention, which may each be equipped before connecting to a machine support to accommodate cables or cable strands and to lead recesses in connection points to each other support member, in particular by means of prepared cable rails or other fasteners for cables or harnesses.

Der Haupttrรคger 10 ist bevorzugt aus einem Gusskรถrper und/oder aus Stahl hergestellt, der eine ausreichende Festigkeit zum Tragen der auf dem Haupttrรคger 10 ruhenden Komponenten aufweist und dessen vergleichsweise weiche Materialeigenschaften zu einer Dรคmpfung von Schwingungen, die wรคhrend des Betriebs der Windenergieanlage fortwรคhrend auftreten, gut geeignet ist. Insbesondere ist der Gusstrรคger durch seine kerbfreie Geometrie besonders widerstandsfรคhig gegenรผber Ermรผdungsbelastungen, die aus dem Rotor in den Turm รผbertragen werden mรผssen.The
Der Hecktrรคger ist bevorzugt aus Stahlteilen geschweiรt und nimmt die Gewichtskrรคfte und Drehmomente des Generators 8 sowie des Schaltschranks 9 auf und รผbertrรคgt sie mittels einer Verbindung zwischen dem Haupttrรคger 10 und dem Hecktrรคger 11 auf den Haupttrรคger 10 und den Turm 13. Der Hecktrรคger 11 ist als einseitig eingespannter Kragarm ausreichend steif ausgefรผhrt, so dass ein Einfedern des Generators 8 im Betrieb sicher vermieden wird. In einer alternativen Ausfรผhrungsform kann der Stahltrรคger auch als Gussteil ausgefรผhrt sein, was insbesondere bei groรen Stรผckzahlen eine wirtschaftliche Herstellung ermรถglicht.The rear carrier is preferably welded from steel parts and absorbs the weight forces and torques of the

Die รผbereinander angeordneten Kabelschienen 41, 42 beginnen am Hecktrรคger 11 und verlaufen an einer Seitenwand des Hecktrรคgers 11 in einem Tragarm 32 รผbereinander. Es handelt sich bei der dargestellten Form um geschlossene Kabelschienen 41, 42 mit jeweils einem abnehmbaren Deckel, in dem die Kabel bzw. Kabelstrรคnge verlegt sind. Diese Kabelschienen zusammen mit den darin verlegten Kabeln und Kabelstrรคngen verlaufen durch die Aussparung an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen Hecktrรคger 11 und Haupttrรคger 10. Je nach spezifischem Anwendungsfall werden statt der geschlossenen Kabelschienen auch offene Kabelstrรคnge genutzt, was den Vorteil der einfacheren Zugรคnglichkeit und somit auch einfacheren Fehlersuche bietet. Die obere Kabelschiene 41 verlรคuft innerhalb des Haupttrรคgers 10 weiter bis zum Azimutflansch fรผr die Turmanbindung, der in
Die untere Kabelschiene 42 verlรคuft ebenfalls durch die Aussparung aus dem Hecktrรคger 11 in den Haupttrรคger 10 und enthรคlt Steuerkabel, einschlieรlich Stromversorgungskabel fรผr die elektrischen Komponenten auf dem Hecktrรคger und verlรคuft innerhalb des Haupttrรคgers 10 getrennt von der Kabelschiene 41.The
Die Kabelschienen 41, 42 kรถnnen bereits vor Zusammenfรผgen von Haupttrรคger 10 und Hecktrรคger 11 am Haupttrรคger und am Haupttrรคger 11 befestigt werden, so dass sie im Bereich der Verbindungsstelle aneinander stoรen, oder sie kรถnnen nach Zusammenfรผgen von Haupttrรคger 10 und Hecktrรคger 11 verlegt werden, so dass sie durch die Verbindungsstelle verlaufen. Mit den, insbesondere geschlossenen, Kabelschienen 41, 42 sind die Kabel, die darin verlegt sind, wirkungsvoll aus dem Weg gerรคumt und geschรผtzt, so dass die Verkabelung gesichert ist und mehr Platz fรผr Wartungsarbeiten und direkter Zugang zu den anderen Komponenten der Windenergieanlage auf dem Maschinentrรคger vorhanden ist.The cable rails 41, 42 can already be attached to the main carrier and the
